At the show

Well we find our self up on a day off at 7am why the Canberra show is in town and my neighbour has asked me if I would go with her and her 2 kids.

Well never one to miss out on anything I'm in, but I hear you saying what about training and diet. Remember its 2 kids under 10 so ill be chasing them around the show for hours that's hours of walking walking and yes more walking. I'm going to the gym this afternoon for a few hours and not only that I really did enjoy that bike ride it's on the cards for late the arvo.

No running for a few days makes me sad lol oh my did I just say I miss running wow 2 years ago I was lucky to be alive and walking let alone running. I have toe problem that really is painful a few days all Ill be right.

Oh well its almost 8am and they are here time to go have a great weekend all.

Day one

Well I'm thinking I need to start posting what's going on in my life weight work training and getting myself ready for the first 5km run I have EVER done.

After receiving an email asking me to do this blog I didn't realise the classic was only 3 months away and I needed to pull my finger out.

I had set a few goal's before the classic one of which was to lose another 10 kilos before the race, this is going a little slow I have been struggling with my weight and what I'm eating for the last 6 months ideally I wanted to be at about 125 kilos by this time and I'm still at 155 to much work not enough training this is going to change.

The second goal was to be able to do 5 kilometres in under 50 minutes I have done this already well it was on a treadmill I hit 5.1 kilometres in 50 minutes last weekend. I would like to get to 6 kilometres in 50 minutes on the treadmill this leads me to think I can do the run in under 50 minutes this will be a giant goal met.

So today is a fine sunny day in Canberra and I'm going for a bike ride about 16 kilometres in total just to try and improve on my cardioid fitness.
